However, the difference in adjusted diastolic BP between groups did not reach statistical significance with an adjusted mean diastolic BP of 77.8 mm Hg in the experimental group versus 79.6 mm Hg in the « usual care » group (−1.85 mm Hg, p = 0.07).

The APN intervention significantly reduced adjusted systolic BP in the experimental group compared with the “usual care” group (−2.72 mm Hg, p = 0.04) and showed a trend toward a decrease in adjusted diastolic BP (−1.85 mm Hg, p = 0.07) and improved BP control with the APN intervention (−8.5%, p = 0.08).
Initial significant or borderline significant results are encouraging and suggest the benefit of an APN intervention on BP control in hypertension management.
